The bill passed by a 230-189 vote. All but one Republican voted
in favor of the bill. All but two Democrats opposed it.

The continuing resolution will head to the Democratic-controlled
Senate, where Democrats are expected to have enough votes to
strip the language that defunds Obamacarefrom the bill. The government will shut down
Oct. 1 if Republicans and Democrats cannot agree on a consensus
bill.

The vote in the House came after two weeks of House leadership
struggling to find a strategy that avoids a government shutdown
but also appeases the ultra-conservative wing of the party who
want to use the threat of a shutdown as a last-ditch effort to
stop Obamacare, the implementation of whose main provisions
starts next month.

Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner gave in to the demands of
his party's conservative wing and announced that he would bring
to the floor a continuing resolution that includes the language
defunding Obamacare. The bill keeps the government funded only
through Dec. 15.

The bill has caused a significant amount of division between
House and Senate Republicans this week. Most of House
Republicans' ire has been directed at Sen. Ted Cruz
(R-Texas), who has pushed the House to take up the cause
of defunding Obamacare but admitted Wednesday that his gambit was
not likely to succeed in the Senate.

"You should have been on the floor back in the cloak room," Duffy
said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"There was so much anger, so much frustration. Because, again,
we've been abused by these guys for so long. What I see happening
now is people coming out and calling them out for the hypocrisy
of these big, tough conservatives who know how to fight but will
never get in the ring."

The one Republican who voted against the bill was Rep. Scott
Rigell (Va.), who said Thursday that he would do so because of a
desire to return to regular budget order.
